Scotland’s goalie isn’t great.

Twas ever thus. The best Scottish goalkeepers in recent years have been Craig Gordon and Anti Niemi.

Thank you, did they divulge the exact date even if you’re not able to reveal it?

 Flatember the 4th? 8 B.C?

That is not the case in any of the 18 clubs who already have safe standing.  Given the investment why would any club make it cheaper?

That’s what I mean though, if the fans have to invest in this instead of the club, it’s the fans that should benefit.

If our billionaire owners want to stump up the required money, then prices can be the same for seating/standing imo.

Nah ... it should be cheaper to stand . 

Never sat in years where we are and I won't be paying another 100 for a bar to stop me falling . 

Them pricks in India need to get get there hand in the pocket. Not up to fans to sub them arseholes. 

I agree, I’m thinking more about how the club should (not that any billionaires should) use crowdfunding.

As a general ST after being built, I’d say standing should be 2/3 or half the price of a seat.

It isn't poor, it's great to watch. The level of skill and nous and commitment on show at Wembley tonight was the equal of anything in the men's game.

May I kindly suggest you open your eyes and your mind

 

At the absolute tip-top it’s a good watch.

The recent Utd vs City game was 90mins I’ll never get back. It needs the standard of goalkeeping to increase hugely imo.

An idea. A bad one, but an idea nonetheless…

Next year’s STs prices at a reasonable level (say £300), BUT pay £400 (still cheaper than last season) and that £100 goes towards safe-standing crowdfund, with your name engraved into the concrete behind the seat you funded?

I remember Laurence Fox pontificating about the censoring of ‘faggot’ from Fairytale of New York, and Shane told him to ‘Fuck off you herrenvolk shite’.

Great initiative, hope its a massive success to show up the error of Waggott's ways.

My only worry would be whether the ancillary services such as catering and the offerings from the Club Shop will be of the standard required to satisfy a bumper crowd and whether the Club can avoid brassing a huge number of potential new supporters off.

3.5 weeks out from the game, he’s no excuse.

There's no proof that we wouldn't have had JDT without GB but if that statement is true he's better at unearthing managers than players.

Apart from the fact it was plastered across Rovers TV and LET that this was the case at the time of the appointment.

In terms of finding players, I don’t think he’s done worse than 50/50 personally, and I even think that is being harsh.

But that’s opinions eh?

Much much better, well done to all involved! I know it’s been a thorn for a while 😅

Will they play @Miller11’s superb playlist properly this time?

Absolutely. He’s got bags of self confidence which has probably been a big factor in his goal return. He also seems really resilient and you can’t really imagine a spell of bad form from him. He’s had some really poor games but doesn’t seem to dwell on it, the Rotherham game earlier this season was a good example - a horrific first half followed up with a brace after half time.

I spoke to him briefly in the summer, and he views every half as a new game. Refreshing mindset tbf.

CAKE! ICING! CHERRY!

Oooooooh

I never felt more like singing the Blues…

As an aside, Harriet Prior makes this easy watching on Soccer Saturday…

Don’t you just love it when Burnley do a Burnley?

My dad tells a tale of watching Liverpool in a friendly in the 60s (I think). Tommy Smith sent an opposition winger off the pitch with a crunching challenge.

The player shouted ‘F*** me Tommy, it’s only a friendly!’

Tommy: ‘Aye, good job it’s not a league game, huh?’

Looking forward to series 2 of Reacher, on Amazon Dec 15th!

Not to be confused with those pish films starring Tom ‘Thumb’ Cruise!

I believe @Mike E knows what it’s like to come across a Burnley fan…

That’s disgusting and fucking hilarious 😂 😂😂

Wahlstedt has made mistake today but harsh to count that against him imo. Could’ve done better, but that was just unlucky.

What was JDT booked for?

Hill’s long throw is a welcome addition, however two criticisms:

It’s a high, looping throw rather than moving like a cross (think Delap).

I’m not sure I like the idea of sending the cbs up, as if it’s a corner.

England in Rugby World Cup semi final and not a mention.

If the singing of the national anthem is anything to go by we’ve won hands down.

Cant see us beating SA tonight, but:

COME ON ENGLAND 

Probably because it’s the football messageboard. Might be in ICBINF?
